Hi Mukul, and hi all. In section 7.1.3.1.3 of the 802.15.4 2003 standard it is said that:
"If the MLME of an unassociated device successfully receives an acknowledgment to its association request command, the MLME will wait for at most aResponseWaitTime symbols for the association response command to become available. If the MLME of the device does not extract an association response command frame from the coordinator within this time, it will issue the MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm primitive with a status of NO_DATA." This could be an explanation for this reduced transaction time at the coordinator: since sending a response after that the aResponseWaitTime has expired at the node which requested the association is useless. Hope this helps. Bye, Daniele M.
